Democrats Crash and Burn: Message To Musk: "You musty moo, moo, moo!"

No, seriously! Read on about the implosion of a once major political party.

Douglas Murray, surely one of the dominant intellectual conservative voices of our time along with Victor Davis Hanson and Roger Kimball, just published a column about some of the latest hi-jinks of the “leadership” of the Democrat Party that contained one example so outlandish that I had to go find video proof that it happened just as Murray reported it. The column was entitled AOC, Walz, Wu — these nuts are the future of the Democrats?!and it is quite simply a delicious dissection of some of the “leading lights” giving inspiration to those dispirited legions formerly known as the Democrat Party. Sure enough there was Congressman Eldridge Cleaver, a duly elected representative of “the people” to Congress (frightening, isn’t it?), making a speech which, in a saner world, would have been grounds for at least a temporary commitment for mental therapy. Alas, if that world ever existed it has long ago passed into those “distant chords of memory” Honest Abe spoke about so eloquently lo those many years ago, along with, come to think about it, the whole concept of eloquence in public speech. Here it is an introduction to a brief discussion of what appears to be the slow-moving train wreck of the final days (hope springs eternal!) of the Democrat Party we once knew and even at times respected:

These days we are wearing out certain phrases to be used when things get so bizarre they are hard to believe and one of them we hear almost every single day is “you can’t make this stuff up!” A major leader of the party ending his speech with an enthusiastic, emphatic, impassioned “moo, moo, moo” certainly qualifies for that expression! Murray sums it up in with his usual surgical wit:

The Gettysburg Address it was not.

But in case anyone forgets, Rep. Cleaver is a member of the Financial Services Subcommittee. And this is the best that he and his colleagues can do? To threaten to stand up and speak out and march and moo?

Given the current urban dictionary definition of the word “musty” it was not immediately clear how the good Congressman has such an informed opinion of Elon Musk’s personal hygiene but that is definitely for another day!

Before taking a look at the main attractions (a/k/a clowns) the party is trying to foist upon its desperate followers as “the future of the party” it might be interesting to visit, gratefully briefly, the “past” of the party - such icons of public trust and personal likeability as Schumer, Pelosi and the current apparent senior leader of the remnants, the socialist Bernie Sanders. In all likelihood just making that statement is all you need to know about where the party is now and Murray explores it further:

Just consider how bad the situation is for the party.

First, it is utterly leaderless. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to hold the party together, but his decision to allow a vote on the Republicans’ government funding bill has led to fallout among the party’s gerontocracy.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, this week jabbed at Schumer for giving something to the Republicans “for nothing” in exchange.

So dire has been the backlash against Schumer (a mere stripling at 74) that he has canceled his upcoming book tour. “Security concerns” have been offered as the reason.

That isn’t security concerns from Republican rivals — but rather from disgruntled members of his own party.

Then, after considering the figures with the real “gravitas” in the party, he then turns to the line-up of comedy acts coming up in the future, some of whom are actually already being touted as the next nominee for President in 2028 (again, can’t make it up!) Please try not to laugh too loudly as I tick off this list of luminaries we’ll be discussing with Murray’s witty assistance: AOC, Mayor Wu of Boston, Jasmine Crockett and Tampon Tim:

Similar vibes are coming out of Boston, where Mayor Michelle Wu yesterday announced again that her city will not comply with ICE or any other agencies seeking to remove dangerous illegal migrants from her area.

Confirming her stance, Wu said, “We stand with immigrants, you belong here. Boston doesn’t back down. If you come for one of us, you will get all of us.”

So Wu is willing to stand off against the federal government and law enforcement based on the idea that someone who breaks into America illegally and stays in Boston has as much right to be there as anyone who has spent their whole life working in the city and paying taxes there?

That’s a heck of a platform to run on.

Concerning AOC, writing about her presents me with some issues as to how to be civil when expressing my views about her and her abject imbeclity and moronic behavior. But for present purposes all I really need to do is cite you to a headline in the New York Times of only two days ago which graphically illustrates the Twilight Zone we are entering:

As the Left Looks to 2028, It Waits on Ocasio-Cortez’s Big Decision

With Bernie Sanders unlikely to run for president again and Democratic voters fuming at party leaders, many progressives see an open lane. But who will fill it?

***

Though there is little agreement about who will emerge to guide progressives into a post-Sanders era, virtually everyone interviewed said there was one clear leader for the job: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.

This is a party so unserious as to be actually even considering this Bronx bartender (an insult to bartenders everywhere) as Presidential material who said 6 years ago that the world was going to end in 12 years if we did not “do something” about climate change, i.e. the weather:

In other words, according to the leading nominee for the Democrat nomination for President, in exactly 6 years we will all be living on borrowed time, or something.

Murray had this to say about Tampon Tim:

Meanwhile, the party’s roadkill are doing what they can to cheer themselves up. This week, former VP candidate Tim Walz (remember him?) cropped up to boast about how masculine he is and how threatening that makes him to Republicans. I won’t repeat the nickname that did for Tim.

But I am obviouosly not so circumspect as Mr. Murray; I only hope the Republicans never let the American people forget that this model of “masculinity” ordered the installation of tampon dispensers in boy’s bathrooms. Surely the kind of “leader” our troops would want to turn to in a time of grave peril for our Nation!

No discussion of the luminaries forming up to lead the party right over the cliff like the lemmings to the sea would be complete without at least an honorable mention of The Right Honourable Jasmine Crockett, a duly elected Representative in Congress from San Antonio and a leading example of decorum and dignity among all Democrat lawmakers. She is truly, in the Latin term, sui generis-one of a kind. Thank God.

She has just been the subject of a censure motion in Congress for calling Gov. Greg Abbott “Gov. Hot Wheels”; as we are all aware Gov Abbott is a paraplegic and is wheelchair bound. The soullessness of one who would make such a comment about a person with such a grave disability is, in my opinion, without measure and she has no business being in any position of authority much less the House of Representatives. But there are many more examples of how the party is reaching for the bottom if this is one of their “rising stars” such as her recent stupid comment about what she wanted as a birthday present, a recklessly dangerous statement about violence to Elon Musk:

“On March 29 it’s my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” Crockett said in an event livestreamed last Thursday by a protest group pushing for Tesla owners to sell their cars and people who own Tesla stock to get rid of it.

As outlined in an article this morning entitled Bondi: Crockett needs to apologize to Tesla shareholders ‘immediately’, had this to say about her conduct:

Bondi shot back at Crockett’s comments Monday on Fox News’s “Hannity.”

“After she said that about Elon, she said, ‘Well, I didn’t mean violence,’ but, however, your words have consequences,” Bondi told Sean Hannity.

“And what happened after she said that about Elon Musk, she’s a Texan, in her — in her own home state, after she said that, this morning, three explosive devices were found in Austin, Texas,” the attorney general added. “So, she needs to unequivocally denounce the violence, she must apologize immediately, not only to all Texans, but to our country, to the American shareholders of Tesla, because she is promoting violence.”

If these statements are not enough to illustrate that no one of this level of crudity should occupy any postion of authority-anywhere- consider her message to Elon Musk recently:

The Texas Democrat also delivered a harsh and explicit message aimed at Musk last month when asked about she would tell Musk if she could speak to the tech billionaire.

“If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say?” a reporter asked in a clip that gained significant traction on social media.

“F‑‑‑ off,” Crockett said in response.

There are any number of expressions we all know to describe someone of this level of crassness (a nice word in place of the one I had in mind) but one of the more acceptable words I can think of to describe this street thug is “garbage.” But she is a rising star in the hot, steaming pile which now calls itself the Democrat Party.

Loath though I am to wrap up such an uplifting discussion about such highly respected and respectable “leaders” of the party I close by recalling that my family were always Democrats and my elders would simply not believe what the party they were all so proud of has turned into. It is truly a disgrace and nothing could better illustrate the depth of that sad state than Murray’s conclusion:

If the Democrats are willing to take any friendly advice, they should accept the fact that they really need to come up with some coherent policies. Something at a higher level than a street protest.

But if you were their enemy? Well then, like Don Lemon, you’d tell them to go the way of AOC and Cleaver and Walz and Wu, and encourage them to moo and moo ’til they can moo no more.

Their rousing FDR campaign song was “Happy Days Are Here Again”! It’s interesting to wonder where they will go for their musical inspiration in the coming era. The word “Happy” is not likely to be prominent in the title.
